Testimonial 1 Currie recently worked with Sarah on a complex infographic for the World Bank-funded CCRES project. The aim was to show the connections between a set of technical tools developed to assist governments and communities to strengthen coastal resource management. Sarah grasped the concepts quickly and created an evocative infographic under tight timeframes. The end result is a very attractive image which we will use across multiple platforms. Thanks Sarah!

Testimonial 2 "Sarah did a fantastic job of graphic recording the process, results and energy of the National Swimming and Water Safety Education Symposium. Participants from researchers, policy makers and practitioners, loved being engaged in this way, seeing their views reflected in art and discussing key points as the artwork was displayed throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah and the graphic recording technique. It is such a great way to drive engagement, momentum and positivity during and after the symposium. I am amazed by her ability to hit all the key discussion points, and illustrate all at once."

Testimonial 3 "Sarah recently graphically recorded an event for my workplace, with almost 100 people and her work was a huge success. The event was a mix of Government, Aboriginal workers and Aboriginal community members (including pensioners and others that don't normally go to this type of event). Sarah remarked that many, many participants came up to her, marvelled at her work and were in awe. So were we!! We have since laminated her works and proudly display them in our office. We expect we will be able to use them in a myriad of ways in the future. Sarah and her work come highly recommended."
